    “Depiction of Lyndon B. Johnson in ‘Selma’ Raises Hackles”

NYT 
<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/01/movies/depiction-of-lyndon-b-johnson-in-selma-raises-hackles.html?ref=politics>:

    “The debate isn’t just about L.B.J., but about how American politics
    works,” said Professor Zelizer, who teaches history at Princeton.
    “Is it a matter of powerful elected leaders, or average people who
    put their bodies on the line?”

    The sparring over “Selma,” which is set for wide release on Jan. 9,
    has certainly taken on a populists-versus-establishmentarians tinge.
    In his op-ed article, Mr. Califano wrote that the Selma marches were
    “L.B.J.’s idea,” citing a transcript of a phone call two months
    before the marches in which Johnson urged Dr. King to generate white
    political support for a voting rights bill by seeking out “the worst
    condition that you run into” in the South and getting images of
    racist brutality widely circulated in the news media.

    In a Twitter post
    <https://twitter.com/avaetc/status/549235495222272000>on Sunday, Ms.
    DuVernay called the notion that Selma was Johnson’s idea “jaw
    dropping and offensive” to the “black citizens who made it so.”
    People, Ms. DuVernay added, should“interrogate history”
    <https://twitter.com/AVAETC/status/549237321648705537>for
    themselves. (A spokeswoman for Paramount Pictures, the distributor
    of “Selma,” said that Ms. DuVernay was not available for comment for
    this article.)

    Gary May, a professor at the University of Delaware and the author
    of “Bending Toward Justice: TheVoting Rights Act
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/subjects/v/voting_rights_act_1965/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>and
    the Transformation of American Democracy,” said the heightened
    rhetoric on both sides was unsurprising.

Message from Josh Douglas:

    As Dannoted <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=69062>a few weeks ago,
    this year’s AALS Annual Meeting has lots of great programming for
    those interested in Election Law.  (In fact, let’s just call Sunday
    “Election Law Day” at the AALS meeting, as there are three sessions
    devoted to the topic!)

    As the Chair of the brand-new Section on Election Law, I want to
    highlight ourprogram <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=62303>on the
    50th Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.  It’s on Sunday at 2:00
    and will feature Pam Karlan, Dan Tokaji, Chris Elmendorf, Kareem
    Crayton, and David Gartner.
    Please stay for the business meeting after the program, when we will
    elect the new executive committee for the section.  We hope to
    include a wide and diverse group of people to help lead the section.
    On Sunday there’s also the AALS Section on Civil Rights program on
    voter suppression at 8:30, and a Hot Topics panel on campaign
    finance at 4:00.
    Finally, I’d like to organize a dinner for anyone interested,
    for*Sunday at 7:00.* Please r*eply to me by Friday*to let me know if
    you’d like to attend.  I’ll send an email out on Friday night or
    Saturday with details of the location.
    Happy New Year!

    Josh
